@36:44 - I only realized after I finished recording the VO that David also had a 17:xx time. So i said he had a low 18, but the 17;50 time on screen here is correct.

Big thanks to everyone who gives this video a chance and everyone who worked on this video. I’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort to this game and I hope this video helps show why we think this game is so sick. If you’re interested in running KAR please join our discord, the links on our leaderboard page.
Pearstrike your noises when you get a good run kill me every time xD
@@Dip-dive Those early popoffs are sooo bad lmaooo
@@pearstrike I was legitimately embarrassed when watching them tbh
Tu tu ru tu tu ru tu tu ru tu tu ru
Dude... I'm so happy to see the wiener GOD
Man this really shows just how hard it can be to regain institutional knowledge even within things like Speedrunning communities. Just think of how long it would have taken for the Western runners to rediscover half of the Japanese techniques or even the idea to use certain vehicles if they never found that website
This is nice and all but how many hot dogs do they get in these categories??
Not enough. -- CJ
I fell asleep with this video playing.... every time Pearstrike got a record I woke up
So you woke up like 15 times and able to go back to sleep after that many times?
I honestly dislike that sound effect enough that I considered stopping the video.
@@ThePeacePlant the joke
Your head
Yeah honestly I just fucking hate the anime “Doo-doo-doo!” sound effect.
Yep stopped watching this one the noise is irritating
This...
Is the story of a battle...
Between a pickle and a pear.
it hasn't been commented yet but yokaze came back after 4+ years and achieved the first 16 minute time just a little bit over a month ago, 16:57 IGT 18:43 RTA.
49:47 for everyone else, it was a near world record time, but for David, it was Tuesday.
I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but I was debating not watching this video at first since I had no knowledge of the game or speedrun, but MAN am I glad I did, it never ceases to amaze me how talented some people are these games! Props too all the people who made this community a reality.
We're glad you watched it after all! Air Ride has both a great history and a great community -- CJ
every speed docs episode is a episode I didn't know I was waiting for.
Just like every good speed game, it’s a battle between anime and no anime. The only difference is it’s also the battle between a pear and a pickle.
And a Night Wind (yokaze translate to night wind)
I recognize that pearstrike is very good at this game and helped push the world record for this, but I absolutely hate his congratulations alarm. It's like it's specifically designed to be as annoying as possible.
I believe it’s the do-do-dooo from steins;gate
Pannenkoek would be proud of the sling star category
I love the dichotomy between Pearstrike absolutely losing his shit when he gets a good time and 1Davidj just going "Oh...Yeah. Whatever. That's cool I guess", when he gets a good time.
Update for anyone watching now: About a year after this video, Yokaze got a sub-17 and that’s still the current record to this day.
What you do really well is explain how the basic game works and make outsiders feel included. I've never played Kirby's Air Ride, but I loved this video.
Thanks! We make it a point to make sure that everyone is up to speed, even people who never played the game. We've seen a few of these kinds of videos where a lot of assumptions are made about the what the viewer knows and it alienates people. We want to prevent that from happening
@@SpeedDocs Well you succeeded. Great job.
Ive been watching all your videos. Please keep up the great work. I see a large number of subs in your future
We dont plan on stopping :)
This documentary is a testament to how we can ascend language and cultural barriers and come together as a united world. Take note politicians, this is your proof that video games are a force for good, not evil.
Rise up, gamers
I can't believe this channel only has 8k subs. Get your friends to watch this channel!
One of your best docs so far! It was really interesting to see the dynamic the runners had with the Elder Gods, although seeing this type of video always makes me wonder what was going on the other side throughout it all.
fancy seeing you here
@@recursivematt1603 👀
I really like it, that you cover more unknown games.
We cover games that we like, big and small :) there are a lot of cool speedruns out there that dont get a ton of attention, but are really interesting
@@SpeedDocs I wrote the comment after 5 min of the video. Now i am almost done and have to say, you guys deserve much more credit for the work you put in. I make sure to tell my friends about your channel
Idk if I consider this game unknown... Forgotten, is a better word for it.
"The Forerunner's knowledge has been lost to us."
Although no one would do it in a speedrun, I love how Air Ride can be played one handed. You can use the L button instead of the A button; it does the same thing.
Just like Earthbound!
@@madisonh4239
How would you do that? You can do most basic interactions with one button, but I'm pretty sure you need a couple other buttons to navigate menus fully (a big part of any turn based RPG). And there are one or two more buttons that are convenient but not necessary.
@@OriginalPiMan I think the point was actually that you can play Earthbound one handed rather than with one button. I can see how it might be read as playing Earthbound with just one button. I mean, technically, you still have to press left and right to select courses here, right? So, it's not just mashing the A button only.
@@stenirrpg4047
Most people don't consider the analogue stick to be a button, so left and right aren't adding to the button count on Air Ride.
And if we're talking about playing games one handed when they require buttons on both sides of the controller, then there are lots of games that can be played like that. Halfcoordinated is a speedrunner who has been to GDQ a few times and plays everything one handed because he has extremely poor dexterity in the other hand; he only uses the other hand to keep the controller steady.
@@OriginalPiMan That's interesting - I would have thought the stick would be considered a button because it's still something you are pressing. Earthbound doesn't "require" buttons on both sides of the controller. The L button does what the A button does, while the Select button does what the B button does. At least for the most part. It's actually designed that way, not a "buttons from both sides have to be pressed" situation.
Yokaze is some kind of prometheus.
I swear these videos deserve such a higher following than they get. Keep up the good work.
The amount of work and research that goes into these videos never fails to impress me!
YOU DESERVE WAAAY MORE SUBSCRIBERS
Tell your friends! :)
Favorite childhood game. Great video. Thank you for donating your time, runners❤
Was my favoritegame growing up, so as an adult I wanna finally try my hand at speedrunning with this game. So thanks for the video, hopefully one day I'll be up there on the leaderboard!
I think everybody is obsessed with kirby and his cohorts doing anything. They all just so loveable
The channel is really developing to become bigger and more professional. Love the videos!
Thanks! We get better every video! -- CJ
I loved this game and never seen speedruns. This video is awesome. Keep up the good work 👍
Just as i was going to go to bed, Now i have a cozy doc to watch.
Kirby in your dreams! -- CJ
Good guy Yokaze.
So hyped for those next videos!!! These are always great!
This channel is awesome, I dont know anything about speedrunning nor I am interested in them but the stories are so appealing and captivating. God bless all communities.
Good job as always CC and CJ, and of course the sick remix by squiddy! Can’t wait for the banjo vid. Hope you get Hagginater involved :)
I am enjoying these videos so much, pls keep going!
No plans on stopping any time soon :)
Glad to see this game get the recognition that it deserves
Video is much appreciated! Keep up the great work.
I love learning about speedruns in the games I grew up. Kirby Air Ride really needs more love imo.
this game looks sick as hell. Imma download it when I get home
Great work as usual :)
Thank you for posting such prime content about air ride, such a wonderful game which deserves more love overall. Switch remake inc?
i haven't been this excited for a video in a hot sec
Thank you for making a Kirby AirRide short!!!!!!!!!
I love this channel so much
"I would not have thought a racing game had any speedrun potential"
Yeah, I thought that comment was a little strange lol. Cause racing games are kind of the original speedruns. Instead of high scores, racing games are all about squeezing out milliseconds and getting faster and faster times. But pickles was really new to the whole scene at that time, so he probably meant that he didn't think it had broad appeal or deep mechanics
@@SpeedDocs Funny, ironic comment. one kind of understands what he meant.
Another great video keep it up
Great watch i dont even play the game, keep up the amazing content on ur channel.
Holy... I always knew the wheelie scooter was op as a kid. I just didn't know just HOW op it was.
Pearstrike is an irl Regular Show character
David: The day I crushed your record was the most important day of your life. But for me it was Tuesday.
All I heard was Yokaze is so sick that we had to create new categories in order to compete with him.
I WAITED SO LONG
Either I need to buy a gamecube again or Nintendo needs to remaster this amazing game.
5 Hotdog% > All Tracks & All Tracks No Duplicate Rides
Nice doc
Imagine if they faithfully remade this game.
I fucking love this game
52 whopping minutes!
What ever came out of those "Multiplayer All Achievements"(?) runs on Dolphin Netplay that Indextic was part of a few years ago?
Wompa Stompa they did it for a month or two and got a decent time I think. No one has really done multiplayer 100 checkboxes runs since then.
@@pearstrike cool, thanks for sharing.
PLAYING WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND GETTNG THE SECRET VEHICLE THEN KICKING ASS
Funny that the Japanese basically always had the worldrecord. But the western community thought they had it. Then when the Japanese runner annihilated their so called world record the Western community comes up with another category. On which they already started working on and set records then another Japanese runner comes along and again annihilated the record. 😂
Can you do a video about the history of Halo speed running? A lot of people aren't aware of HaloRuns.com and assume all the halo times are on speedrun.com. If you're wondering why there's a separate website for halo speed running is because the site was around before speedrun.com. Halo 1-5 all have runners (halo 1 and 2 being the most popular) and all the WR's and times are listed on Halo Runs, we could use some fresh runners in the community. So a video about it would help a lot.
Halo is on our radar (or motion sensor?) And on our list of games to get to :)
Hit CC or I up on discord if you'd like to help with research! --CJ
Kirby Air Ride spedrunners are a big bunch of memers, lol. I mean that in a good way.
What’s that song for the first 50 seconds, before the intro credits? It sounds like it’s from tekken
All of our music is from Audio Blocks. There is a download link in our discord for all of the songs in this video, if you're interested.
Music from 14:18 onwards?? Awesome vid btw
Tuturu, Mayushi-desu!
Hey, Speed Docs, may I suggest you cover the history of Super Mario Odyssey Any% world records next?
We're keeping an eye on it for now. It's on our radar though, so maybe well get to it one day
@@SpeedDocs can I suggest Super Meat Boy any%? Vorpal is a good resource on it as well as MatteSMB. If you can, Zukoza/Zaxsts was quite influential as well
What's the music in that intro?
nice
I comment to help statistics
Nice
Every time I think meh I won't like that game I probably wont like the vid. Then 2 mins in I got the chills and am like FUCK YOU TELL ME BOUT THESE COMMUNITIES.
Haha! Have some Speedrunner-Narcan to quell your jitters! -- CJ
just wondering. Where is the Banjo Kazooie video? I KNOW for a fact I watched it at one point, but I can't seem to find it Anywhere at all. Hope it wasn't a problem with youtube taking the video down for a false reason. Hope it can get fixed soon cause I LOVED that episode : )
Its hidden for the time being because of allegations against the main focus of the video. It still exists and can be found if you search hard enough

Since Meta Knight is so broken is there a Meta Knight only category?
Unrelated, anyone know the song at 25:40?
Is listening to mayuri's tuturus on loop heaven or hell? I cant decide
Definitely Hell
I wish every Speedrun streamer used air horns!
Western Tenacity = changing the rules to win 😂😜
Ayyyye
I don't like the annoying sound effect of the guy who claimed all of the world records...
Tuturuu!
It’s in the playlist twice btw
edit: it was fixed
There's two Kirby Air Ride videos. One is this. The other is how fast can you eat hot dogs?
@@daninbox Previously it had both of those plus a duplicate of this video, but now it's gone.
yoooooooooooo
2 people hit the wrong button
Can you make a halo video ???
When is banjo world record history coming
It's in the works. Soon tm
@@SpeedDocs oh cool. Looking forward to it
Wait Banjo when
That video is unlisted, because of reasons
@@SpeedDocs Aw
Leaderboard for the All Tracks category: www.speedrun.com/kar#Air_Ride_All_Tracks
Leaderboard for the All Tracks No Duplicates category: www.speedrun.com/kar#All_Tracks_No_Duplicate_Rides
All Tracks is the main category, with 50+ runners. All Tracks No Duplicate Rides, as you pointed out, is not the main category. When they hit a wall with All Tracks, the top runners started running ATND as an alternative. CCNeverender did, in fact, do a run for research about a month ago. The community articulated to us that the story spanned multiple categories, so we told their story. -- CJ
@@SpeedDocs All Tracks category currently has 54 entries. All Tracks No Duplicates has eight entries. So you would be correct.
What happened to you guys
This is great and all, but what about Top Ride?
Holy shit pearstrike has the most obnoxious completion music I've ever seen in speed running lol.
I know this vid is old, but it would be great if you could reach out to Japanese players to get their perspective on this history.
It's kinda insane how much better the Japanese community was.
*Tuturu~ intensifies*

This was a great video but Jesus do F Zero GX
2:58 sky Sans?
good vid but i noticed 1 major flaw: you never told us what the best times on the Japanese leader board was. because of which we only know the western records not the world records for most of the video and theres no confirmation on whether the times at the end are world record or western record
The japanese times are all done on an individual level basis. This video focuses on doing every level in one sitting. Because the IL times are not done in a full run setting, you cant compare the 2 in the same way. Thus, the times in this video are strictly comparing the full game. Runners like yokaze and luka are some of the few J runners who have done world record pace full game runs
@@SpeedDocs oh, i didnt realize. nvm then
